Morphology

haddie = haddock (transparent) = haddock + ie

The use of '-ie' to form a familiar or food-name variant from 'haddock' is a transparent colloquial formation.

Etymology

Haddie can also mean 'smoked haddock', especially in Scotland. It comes from the fish name haddock plus the friendly -ie ending, so the word points to the smoked fish on your plate.
